Hi all!Our local animal shelter was on the news yesterday, pleading for dog/cat and kitten/puppy food. They operate on donations and are normally a no kill facility. They reported that they took in over 400 pets this past quarter. Most coming from people that had lost their homes due to job losses and forclosures. Sad.Our local community, including myself, has come through again! Our shelter is now almost full to the brim with food to feed the animals, cat litter, and everything else a facility needs to run on a daily basis. I thank the powers above that we have stepped up, once again, to save the animals that, through no fault of their own, have somehown found themselves in the shelter, waiting for another home.When I went there, I saw the most gorgeous chi looking at me. I have no idea how old but he looked at me as if to say "please take me home". My hubby is in the hospital, otherwise I would have taken him home with me. It breaks my heart to see pets that have been so loving and trusting, end up in the shelter.What a sobering visit that was. I have offered to volunteer at my local shelter in whatever way they need me. Walking the dogs, playing with the cats, advertising, whatever. I want to help in whatever way that I can.Right now I have 2 horses and 5 cats in my barn. In my house I have 2 cats,a Great Dane and a 5 month old Chi. I am almost full to the brim but I also feel that I could have one more chi. Dezzi (the chi at the shelter) may become mine. He's older but not a senior. My Great Dane has accepted the fact that she is not the only dog and she too is a rescue. I'm a sucker for animals. I love every one of them. I wish I could rescue all of them. Dezzi is pulling at my heart. What will be, will be.Pat SSW Michigan
